Anyone got a time machine...? #whatwe'remissing

Yep, if someone had said: "pick the worst date to play the first derby match" the 14th September would have been a prime candidate... First fixture after the transfer window with an international break thrown in for good measure. Glad it's out of the way and we can now get into a normal routine for the upcoming games.

Surprised to see various people pointing out the atmosphere wasn't great. I was in the Northam and apart from a dip towards the end of the first half I thought the atmosphere was great. Plenty of singing and chanting. Gotta be something to do with poor stadium acoustics if this wasn't apparent from other parts of the ground?

How does that work, given they've had 7 shots and none on target? (I'm not defending our woeful performance btw)

Yeah, f***ing annoying. Assume that was a police thing rather than the club letting them get away with not pitching up at the front?

They've now stopped people coming into the giddy bridge as too busy

Before or after the beer?

Yeah, good luck with that!

O'Neills already rammed at 8:15. Now in the Giddy Bridge but no beer until 9am.

Yeah, fair point 👍🏻

Was that Russell being smuggled away from the stadium in a wheelie bin in the background...?

Yep, agree. I've been feeling for a while now that all this whipped up hype by the club's media department could back fire on us. The best approach, in my humble opinion, would have been to treat the build up like any other game and leave all the emotion stuff until the players take to the pitch. Just feels a tad manufactured to me, but maybe that's just me being a grumpy old git 😁

Selles or Martin to win ex-Saints manager sack race...? To close to call...?

Rothwell on to save the day

Cheers - yeah, keeps cutting out it, as you say, it's in sympathy with the quality of football 😁

Anyone got a decent stream?

Oops....
